This is just my opinion. This is a popular ale and is quite tasty. I myself prefer something a little stronger. Not bad, just not great either. HarryFlashman (469), Chatham, Kent, England

Pretty good for a norther brew; not the usually dishwaters served up by Yorkshire. Fairly hoppy and bitter, if a touch flat and bland. stereotypical mud brown bitter colour. Not too bad at all! DruncanVeasey (2753), The Penguin’s Arms, Europe, Warwickshire, England

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Sep 4, 2006 Found this beer rating in an old suit the other day, so it’s from several months ago. Cask. Pulls a dark amber, thick white head, almost nitro style. Nose is slightly macrobrewery malt, hops, pine cone? Tastes malty, some sweet hoppy bitterness, and finishes bitter. Average.

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Aug 8, 2006 (Cask at Carnarvon Castle, Liverpool, 26 July) Colour is amber with frothy head. Nose is malty and nutty with a neutral caramel aroma. Taste is malty and nutty with dried fruit and some artificial tasting caramel. A bit sweet and hints of hops in the finish (did they only dry hop the beer?). Not bad, probably better than when it was under the wings of Scotish Courage, but still a fairly boring brew. bluevegie (2215), Perth, Australia
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jun 19, 2006 Not as red in body as previous bitters a touch more preferable, a little bit smoother but once again nothing standing out too much, some dried fruit in taste.
